Bill Clinton Implicated In NV Prostitution Ring; 'School' Had $200K 'Earmark'
Las Vegas police arrested Brooks, 36, and four associates last week after a two-week investigation into the local prostitution ring. The investigation started when a tipster told detectives about a cheerleading coach at Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy who might be running a prostitution service.When an undercover detective called Brooks, she said her girls were clean and only serviced upscale clients, a police report said. She later boasted that she had more than 40 women working for her and that her clients ranged from basketball star Shaquille ONeal to a former president, according to the report. These are not your average girls. Some of them have worked with Bill Clinton, Brooks told an undercover officer, according to the report. ******But wait! There's More!****** According to our latest count, there appears to be roughly 1338 earmarks included in the Labor-HHS appropriations bill. One of these earmarks, requested by Rep. Shelley Berkely (D-NV), would provide $200,000 to the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, (whose website is inactive), located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Agassi established the tuition-free charter school for local "at-risk" kids in 2001, and last year the House approved a $175,000 earmark for the institution--although it did not become law because Congress did not complete the appropriation's process. In 2004, Forbes Magazine ranked Agassi 27th (right after Will Smith and Julia Roberts) on its list of richest individuals under age 40--at the time, the tennis star was 34 years old and worth $162 million. Although Agassi was known during his playing days for his soft touch and accuracy, this action seems to be a fault especially for the far less wealthy taxpayers who are being asked to fund it.
